The short version
Hoardling 3D has no accounts, no sign-up form, and no name or email to give us. Your progress is stored on your device, not on our servers. We run no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party trackers. The only thing that leaves your device is an anonymous, auto-created leaderboard identity and the wave number you post to it — never anything that identifies you.
What this build is
Hoardling 3D is an experimental, in-progress fork of Hoardling that swaps the finished game's painted 2D scene for a real-time 3D one. The rules, the raiders, and your progress are the game's own — only the rendering differs, and it's rougher than the main build by design (see the game's own page for the version we consider finished). Everything below applies to this 3D build specifically.
What stays on your device
Everything about your run of the game — campaign stars, your best Daily Siege wave, which Forge upgrades you've bought, which trial badges you've earned, which raiders you've met, and your sound preference — is written to your browser's local storage. Deleting the site's data (or uninstalling the app if you added it to your Home Screen) deletes it. There is no server copy and no backup, so we cannot restore your progress if you clear your browser or switch devices.
The leaderboard identity
Hoardling 3D has an optional Daily Siege leaderboard, separate from the main game's. The first
time it needs one, your browser is issued an anonymous session by our database
provider, Supabase — no email, password, or personal detail is asked for or collected. That
session is used only to post your best Daily Siege wave under a name we generate for you, in the
fixed shape WICK-XXXX (four characters derived from the session itself). You never
type a name, and the app never asks you for one.
Hoardling 3D and the main Hoardling are both served from hypersage.ai, so browsers treat them as the same site for storage purposes: your anonymous session and your sound setting are shared between the two if you play both, the same way two tabs of one site would share a login. Your campaign progress is kept completely separate — playing one never touches your saved stars or Daily best in the other. Each game also posts to its own leaderboard, so a Daily Siege score from one never appears on the other's board.
If the leaderboard can't be reached — offline, or a slow connection — your pending score is held in local storage and retried later, up to six attempts over one hour, then dropped. It never grows beyond your ten most recent runs.
What we never collect
- No name, email address, or phone number — there is no sign-up anywhere in the app.
- No advertising identifiers, no ad SDK, no cross-app or cross-site tracking.
- No analytics or crash-reporting service is loaded by this build.
- No camera, microphone, contacts, or location access is requested — Hoardling 3D is a WebGL game with touch/tap controls only.
What we can't remove
A posted Daily Siege score is a row on a public leaderboard, tagged only with your generated
WICK-XXXX name and a wave number — not your device, browser, or IP address by design.
Because the tag carries nothing that identifies you, there is currently no way for us to find and
delete one score out of the board on request; the whole board can be reset. If that changes, this
page will say so on the day it ships.
Purchases and ads
Hoardling 3D has no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no advertising in this build. If that ever changes, this page and the app's own screens will be updated on the same day, before the change ships.
Children
Hoardling 3D shares its rules and content with the main game, built to a kid-safe standard (target age 9+): comic dark-fantasy, no blood or gore, and raider "defeats" play as slapstick, not violence. The app collects no personal information from anyone, of any age, and has no chat, no messaging, and no way for one player to contact another — the leaderboard is read-only score rows, nothing else.
Changes
If what the app does changes, this page changes on the same day. The date at the top is the honest one.
